Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that organizations that offer work-life policies that are congruent with the boundary management preferences of the individuals cause these individuals to perceive work-life policies as more procedurally and distributively fair than when the work-life policies are incongruent with these preferences. The specific preferences were for either a segmenting or integrating boundary management style and the policies offered were either congruent or incongruent with the individual's boundary management style. A total of 141 (100 female) undergraduate students completed the study using web-based survey software. The matching hypothesis was not supported. The only significant predictor of procedural justice was an integrating boundary management style. In an exploratory analysis, a TwoStep cluster analysis clustered the participants into two groups that could be interpreted as integrators and segmentors. Using the resultant clusters as predictors, the matching hypotheses were retested using 2 X 2 Analysis of Variance (ANOVAs). The only significant predictor of procedural justice was again whether or not a participant was an integrator. The clusters were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression to search for characteristics associated with boundary management style. The only significant outcome variable was a history of full-time employment.
